About This Scholarship

The Minnesota Indian Scholarship is a scholarship program offered by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education to support Native American students who are residents of Minnesota. The scholarship is designed to help these students pursue a postsecondary education at an accredited institution of their choice.

The Minnesota Indian Scholarship Program offers financial aid for postsecondary education to eligible Minnesota residents who are of at least one-fourth Indian ancestry and who can prove they are in need of a grant.

The scholarship award amount varies, but it can cover up to the full cost of tuition, fees, and books. The scholarship is awarded based on financial need and academic merit, as well as the applicant’s commitment to their tribal community and the potential for the education to benefit their community. The application process typically involves submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and a separate scholarship application form.
